(c) Administrative rules shall provide partial credit to commercial haulers for residential waste. The amount of the credit shall be no less than $2 per month for each single-family household from which the hauler collects refuse, provided the hauler's account is current. The annual credit shall be equal to the landfill disposal fee multiplied by one and one-half tons per year per single-family household. The residential credit shall not exceed the total landfill tipping fees charged to the residential hauler for the month for which the credit is being claimed. Commercial haulers who claim this credit shall provide documentation to the solid waste division including customer name, mailing address, and service address for each credit claimed. Claims for the residential credit must be submitted on or before the last day of the month following the month for which the credit is being claimed and the hauler's account must be current for the credit to be applied. Names, mailing addresses, and service addresses of customers of residential haulers are subject to the disclosure limitations in section 92F, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, as disclosure would cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the person from whom the information was obtained. (d) The mayor, with the approval of the council, may temporarily rescind the solid waste disposal fees for a specified period. (e) The mayor may waive solid waste disposal fees when it is in the best interest of the County. Fees may be waived for one-time events for community organizations, nonprofit organizations, or private property owners who are remediating illegal dump sites which were not of their creation. The mayor will give notice to the council when tip fee is waived. (f) On or before January 1, 2004, there shall be an analysis of past and projected expenses in the solid waste division. Factors to consider include, but are not limited to, capital improvement projects and any debt service for those projects, labor rates and any contractual obligations, equipment replacement and depreciation, and diversion programs. Estimates shall also be considered for total disposal expenses for businesses, Federal or State agencies, religious entities, nonprofit organizations or private citizens as compared to expenses for single-family household disposal at the island-wide solid waste transfer stations. The analysis will be done on an annual basis through January 1, 2007." SECTION 3. Material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken through. Material to be added is underscored.
